To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,
Where,
m = Mass of spacecraft
M = Mass of Earth
r = Radius (Orbit)
G = Gravitational Universal Music
v = Velocity
Re-arrange to find the velocity
PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,
From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so
Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.
PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is
Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.
Answer:
The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km
Explanation:
Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km
the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km
The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.
R' = x' + y'
